The Penguin Guide to Jazz called 'Mingus Ah Um' Inchan extended tribute to ancestorsInch and awarded it with one of their rarely given Crown accreditations. It is, in fact, one of Mingus' most personal albums, and produced a series of songs that have become standards. 'Better Git It in Your Soul'is inspired by gospel singing and preaching of the sort that Mingus would have heard as a child growing up in Watts, while 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat' is a reference to saxophonist Lester Young who had died shortly before the album was recorded.
